You Didn't Want Me
Mesh / On This Tour Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is why I've got no appetite
For fighting and biting.
For lying and sniping
For talking of one thing,
Then doing another
Blaming each other
I never meant to jeopardise my fun for you
Because you didn't want me
You never cried for me at all
You didn't love me
You were too fare above me
Then you watched me take the fall
Here is why I now contemplate
Here is why I should celebrate
No more hurting and using.
The spitting and bruising
Breaking a promise,
Saying I'm sorry
Pretending to worry
I never thought I'd have to take this much from you
I wish I'd never used this precious time on you
Because you didn't want me
